I’ m a big fan of recycling and this one might be on my top three. Christmas ornaments turned into mini vases. And the best part. It’s easily done in five minutes. For this you need ornaments (of course), pliers and some gravel. First you remove the hanger.

Do you remember the table inspo I showed the other day? Here you have the actual makeover. The table is an Ikea PS 2012 Side table and I used some black paint and adhesive marble plastic to make it look just the way I wanted it to.

You probably know by now that I like my marble-contact plastic, since I´ve done a whole bunch of diy’s with it. And when I found this diy over at Livet hemma – IKEA, I just had to share it with you. A makeover on Klubbo-coffee table. Great idea! And I really like the styling of the pictures too.

Sometimes I get a picture in my head with an idea, but I don’t know how I’m going to do it. Like with this bowl. I wanted dots that looks like they were made with a brush and watercolor. But you can’t do them with actual watercolor. I tried with my porcelain pen, but the dots became too “compact”. Then I found my fabric marker on the bottom of the drawer, and thought: “Why not?”. And it turned out just the way I wanted it! I just placed the dots a bit random, and the three in a row, I wanted to look like the paint had dripped a bit. Sometimes is good to think outside the box.

I did a mini makeover to our mikado the other day. I painted all sticks but two, with a black acrylic paint. I used a small sponge, and only had to paint them once. Then I painted the two “helpers” with a white acrylic paint, but these I had to paint three times. And that’s it.

And if you wonder about the rules ( different colors = different points ), we’ve always played by the rule: one stick one point. And two off the sticks you can use as “helpers”. This way it’s easy to count, even for the younger players. That’s why this makeover works.
